25 Songs, 25 Scenarios

// A hazy DSM afternoon that was too good not to capture //

I was scrolling through Pinterest and stumbled upon the most intriguing pin–25 prompts that asked the reader to list songs based on his/her own personal experiences. I love, love, love music, so naturally I began mentally choosing songs that fit each scenario. After I was about six songs in, I realized how easily this came to me, so I decided to fill out the entire list and share it here. These are the 25 scenarios and the 25 songs that immediately popped into my mind.
